Yocto fetcher failure for libnotify

I'm trying to build a Yocto receipe that depends on libnotify. When it attempts to build libnotify I get a fetcher error:

ERROR: libnotify-0.7.8-r0 do_fetch: Bitbake Fetcher Error: FetchError('Unable to fetch URL from any source.', 'https://download.gnome.org/sources//libnotify/0.7/libnotify-0.7.8.tar.xz;name=archive')

I noticed that the URL has an extra / in it. I tried looking in /meta/recipes-gnome/libnotify/libnotify_0.7.8.bb but I don't see a SRC_URI defined so I don't understand where it is getting this URI from. Does someone know how to correct this?

An SRC_URI pointing to this URL: https://download.gnome.org/sources//libnotify/0.7/libnotify-0.7.8.tar.xz must exist.

In /meta/recipes-gnome/libnotify/libnotify_0.7.8.bb there is an SRC_URI[archive.md5sum] =babb... Here "archive" is the name of the SRC_URI which is defined elsewhere more likely in classes/clutter.bbclass or classes/gnomebase.bbclass

Make sure you have not a proxy then try to build again. As a workaround. You can download this archive with wget command.

wget https://download.gnome.org/sources//libnotify/0.7/libnotify-0.7.8.tar.xz;name=archive

Put it inside your download directory. Then create inside the download directory a file named as the archive but with .done extension at the end.

touch libnotify-0.7.8.tar.xz.done

Thus, bitbake will notice that the archive is already present and there is no need to fetch it again.
